Sounds like a Goldson type signing. He can settle in and play in the Dev squad until we need an RB at which point they might chuck him in. Its a fair wedge for a youth teamer otherwise.

Based on that report we aren't paying £2m up front, but based on long term goals if achieved. So I should imagine a smallish amount up front. Although I thought we had Tyler-Forbes as our future RB? What happened to him?
Anyway looks like we're stepping up the recruitment for the U23, with this bloke and the Leyton Orient bloke. If Alan Nixon is right from what he replied in his twitter account earlier, we have made a change in our approach to buying players, sounds like we're about to throw some money around.

This feels like a Championship window for us.

For sure that Alan Nixon might get a few things right from his contacts. To say he knows of a change on our recruitment policy is frankly fanciful.

Not seen such Bravery!
He reckons we are 'spending money' on 2 possible deals, and have 'changed approach'.

Maybe he means we are trying to sign players from our own shores rather than abroad?

He replied to a question which asked if he knew of any movement at Brighton and he said "Working on it. Surprise change of transfer market tactics" - previously had said that we weren't spending much money and keeping costs under control.
Obviously he might not know anything, but you'd like to think there's no smoke without fire.

We've probably "changed approach" in his mind on the basis of the targets his contacts have suggested we're interested in.
Of course he's wrong, because it was undoubtedly always our plan to spend big on a couple of key positions in the first place.

Well spotted. It worked tremendously well. In the Championship.
Probably be the Orient Midfielder and the Czech right back then....

Im sure out transfer record will be broken a couple more times before the window closes. Its about getting the right players though not just players for the sake of it. I maybe in a minority but our recruitment team has been solid for a while now and I trust them to get a quality CM and CF in.
Those 2 and a GK and RB (looks like a done deal almost) will complete the squad. I think we will only then go back in the market if some quality players become available st the end of the window once PL teams look to name and complete their squads

With a Lidl more patience we could've got that deal done.

Apparently interested in Motherwell midfielder Chris Cadden for u-23's. Looks like we might be taking the academy more seriously. Wonder if that's what Alan Nixon means by a surprising change of policy?
